Lu Feng diagnosed Dugu Yan with hereditary Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison and warned that it could kill her before she turned thirty, while revealing several possible treatments.

• Lu Feng began explaining his recommended twelfth method, which involved a Long Necked Five Colored Deer, while Dugu Yan wondered how it related to her poison.

• Lu Feng explained that Dugu Yan could change her martial soul's form and store her venom in it or a weapon, turning the poison into a weapon rather than a burden.

Lu Feng used an explosion to cripple Scarface, then faced Chen Ergou, who swore revenge and transformed into a powerful dog-man. After recognizing Lu Feng’s Clear Sky Hammer, Chen Ergou attacked, and Lu Feng began resisting with the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.

• Scarface and the hunting-hound Soul Master found the Thousand Night Fruit, while Lu Feng hid nearby and used an explosion beneath the rock to blast Scarface’s legs apart.

Lu Feng used the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer and a self-created movement skill to pressure the tall Soul Master, who realized too late that Lu Feng had baited him into clashing head-on.

• The tall Soul Master attacked with his Triple Thrust, but Lu Feng dodged and countered with his third hammer strike.

• Lu Feng noticed Flender’s Antique Shop and entered, where he collected worn-item fragments and spotted a gray-quality helmet.

Seeking safety and a steady supply of fragments, he joined the Suotuo Great Soul Arena as a host and ended the chapter preparing to fight an upcoming contestant.

• Lu Feng persuaded Flender to give him a crystal and a treasure map by claiming to be Liu Erlong’s student, then secretly took back the Gold Soul Coins he had offered.
• Lu Feng studied the map in his hotel room, synthesized its fragments, and glimpsed a mist-shrouded valley altar where people were conducting a ritual.

• Lu Feng entered the Soul Fighting Arena to face Dai Mubai, whose White Tiger Martial Soul he hoped to harvest as a fragment.
• Dai Mubai recognized Lu Feng as the man he had believed the two Soul Ancestors killed, then resolved to fight him in the arena while hiding his resentment.

• The audience fell silent, and a spectator cursed after losing a hundred Gold Soul Coins on Dai Mubai.

Lu Feng defeated Dai Mubai in the Soul Fighting Arena, then was abducted by Dugu Bo, who questioned him about his poison techniques. After Lu Feng identified Dugu Bo’s symptoms and offered him White Ghost Powder, Dugu Bo’s interest in him grew.

• Lu Feng identified several herbs and considered the garden’s value, while Dugu Bo offered him anything in it if he cured Dugu Yan.
• Lu Feng agreed to help but said Dugu Bo would have to pay him, prompting Dugu Bo to laugh and praise his directness.

• Dugu Bo took Lu Feng to his cave, where Lu Feng saw preserved soul beasts and human organs from Dugu Bo’s experiments.

Lu Feng sent Cannon Five into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well after feeding it the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, hoping it would reach the Water and Fire Dragon Kings beneath the spring. As Cannon Five found the dragons’ complete corpses and their souls comforted it, the Silver Dragon and a black-robed man sensed the awakening Dragon King bloodline and chose not to intervene.

• Dugu Bo left Lu Feng alone in the valley, and Lu Feng decided to take the two special Immortal Herbs despite promising not to touch the garden.
• Lu Feng had Cannon Five eat the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, then sent it diving into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Dugu Yan obtained a bow-type weapon Soul Skill, and Dugu Bo asked Lu Feng what they should do next.

• Lu Feng gave Dugu Bo seven pills for Dugu Yan and kept three for himself, warning that Yan Yan should take one every three months.
• Dugu Bo demanded extra compensation, so Lu Feng gave him a pill and asked for cultivation manuals and martial arts secret techniques in exchange.

Lu Feng helped Dugu Bo break through to Rank 92 with a pill, then proposed a dangerous Soul Core method to control his recurring toxins. At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Lu Feng spent his days collecting cultivation-method fragments in the library, prompting Dugu Yan to complain that he had been avoiding her.
